Hmmm...I think I'm coming 2nd or 3rd in HSC Business Studies (school ranking is within 200...)

Not sure how to feel about it Tn T! Been maintaining 3rd in Business Studies Preliminary for 2 years (Year 9 and 10).

Is it okay to still come top 3 in internals ranking?

Is it true if you get >90 HSC mark on all subjects for example, Extension 1&2 Maths, Chemistry and Physics however you get around 50-70 for English. Would you still get a low 90's atar in whole NSW? Just feeling curious because English is making me feel...

Too many variables tbh - depends on your overall marks. But generally, you want to do well in English because a mark in the 50-70 will probably drag you down.

You might scrap a low 90 ATAR, but it's somewhat unlikely with English marks like you mentioned lol. If you were in the mid b5 however, you can get above 90 ATAR, easily.

If you go hard there is no reason you can't get at least a band 4 in English

We got fed 6 times a day at camp- so I was constantly full! It was great!

But yeah- if it continues perhaps you should see a doctor or tell someone else that could help you.

1. Read more novels. Preferably classics (eg. 'The Great Gatsby' is great).
They will improve your vocabulary and expression.
2. Acquire a good essay and absorb its structure, analysis of techniques etc.
3. PREPARE. Sounds simple but failing to prepare is preparing to fail. Write an essay before the exam and give it to your teacher. Memorise the essay or your concepts really well. Not pre-writing an essay and memorising your text/essay could mean a difference of 5 marks or larger (out of 20) than if you just winged it.
4. If you can easily get >90 in all your other subjects you should be well on your way to 99+ (that is, if you get >90 for english and your school isnt complete trash)
